Let me save you from asking a Native this:
Yes, some Natives celebrate Thanksgiving. Which is cool. It was our holiday first.
Also, some Natives don’t. Which is also cool.
But what isn’t cool, is if you only think of Natives once a year.
And that’s how we know there is no real system of justice. If video & community advocacy are required, then it means the legal system itself is not the real advancer of justice.
This is so beautiful. We’ve lost so many people in the past two years, sometimes it feels like too much but thinking about grief through this lens really helps put it all into perspective. ❤️
